    the Onion Test
    While the Ancient Egyptians were on to something with the wheat and barley test, they and the Ancient Greeks seem to have had a fuzzy understanding of anatomy. Both Egyptian medical papyri and Hippocrates, lauded as the father of medicine, suggested that a woman who suspected she might be pregnant insert an onion or other strong-smelling bulbous vegetable into her vagina overnight. If her breath smelled of onions the next morning, she wasn’t pregnant; this was based on the idea that her womb was open, and wafting the oniony scent up to her mouth like a wind tunnel. If she were pregnant, then the womb would be closed, so no wind tunnel.

    Not sure where all the concern is coming from...we were assured that this virus will simply disappear.

    Oh no! Please call your doctor immediately! Make an appointment for testing. If you feel better tomorrow you can cancel your appointment but with this latest surge in covid cases there is a growing shortage of testing supplies.

    Actually between doctors. I was going to one but she left the area. Went to another in the practice and didn't like her. Was looking up new primaries when virus hit and they aren't doing routine visits. There are two urgent care clinics near me, if I don't feel better tomorrow will go. Promise.
